New Warzone Idea, Armory Crates

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I’m just spitballing new ideas here so I’m not expecting this to be flawless.

What are Armory Crates?

  • Predetermined Weapon caches for use in Warzone that can be used throughout the match. They look like this and this - Is shared with the whole team - Spawns via UNSC armory crates that are located in your Armory (owning 2 Armories does not allow you to stack this effect)How do we get them?

  • Team lands in Pelicans and starts the match. The Armory Crates will automatically spawn inside the first Armory that you capture. - Initial crates will be spawned with low end weapons right as soon as the Armory is first captured (Needlers, Storm Rifles, DMR’s, 2 or 3 Shotguns (1 clip just like Infection), 2 or 3 SAW’s (again with only one clip), etc. This is the trickier part to balance, knock yourself out here because I’m not that smart. - These crates will be depleted very quickly as you can imagine but there are ways to refresh them and with greater weapons. - Raising your REQ level will provide tiny refreshes while getting to a higher level like 6 will provide your team with some goodies for the mid-game (Lawgiver, Sniper Rifle, Fuel Rod? Just examples) - When your team’s NPC kill count reaches a certain number, the crates will refresh with some good stuff - When your team’s player kill count reaches a certain number, the crates will spawn some goodies - When your team reaches a certain score, lets say 500, the crates will give you some stuff - When your team’s headshot count reaches a certain number, precision weapons will spawn inside the crates - Captain Lasky will announce when the crates are about to spawn (similar to Power Weapon callouts in Arena, “10 headshots to next armory crate.” “Eliminate Captain Hestro to receive heavy ordnance.” etc) - Armory will ping green when there is new weapons and whenever it isn’t empty so you don’t make a pointless trip to your Armory just to find it emptyWhat’s in these Crates???

  • Mostly low tier weapons - More powerful weapons will appear when greater milestones are met by your team (Don’t be expecting guns on the level of Nornfang or Selene’s Lance) - More than enough for everyone, everyone will get to walk out of their Armory with a new gun but not everyone is going to be running out with Shotguns and Snipers - Can always refill Loadout ammo and grenades just like the REQ terminals doWhat’s the point in all of this?

  • To provide all players a chance at getting a fun weapon and let people burn through low tier weapons with low ammo reserves to balance it out (who wants to call in the Default Shotgun or Carbine?) - To make people feel like they are a team working towards goals that benefit each other while keeping the crate-earning criteria in line with the objectives of Warzone (no crates for doing things that aren’t helping your team win the game)

Thanks for making it here!

Excuse me but I think you didn’t understand the concept of warzone and single use req card.
But your proposition could be good for BTB games.

It´s a good idea, but what´s the point of Req´s now?

Glad you asked! The REQ system would stay in place but this new idea provides a way to easier access low-tier weapons that are rarely called in through REQ cards. The current REQ system makes calling in low tier weapons rather trivial especially when you consider the energy that you have to spend that could be spent on better variants of the same weapon that are very plentiful already.

I absolutely think that this is a really awesome idea. It would make it increasingly fun to play Warzone.

Intriguing, I’d day it’s worth a weekend Playlist to see how it rolls with the community! Definitely would make some interesting battles.
